How Homtly works
A short guided assessment in, a full picture of the home out. No broker required, and nothing to pay for the basic score.
Step 1 — Where the home is
You pick the city and locality, the property type (apartment, builder floor, independent house, villa or plot) and the configuration. Homtly does not publish a private home's precise address without the owner choosing to.
Step 2 — The basics
Carpet area, age, floor, furnishing, and optionally the asking price. The asking price is what lets Homtly position the home against the estimated fair range — without it you still get a score, just no price verdict.
Step 3 — Surroundings and connectivity
Roughly how long it takes to reach a school, hospital, market, station, main road, employment hub and the airport, plus public transport quality, noise levels and how the locality is developing. These drive the Location, Connectivity and Future Potential scores.
Step 4 — Construction and interior
Structure type, visible defects, walls, flooring, plumbing, waterproofing, ventilation, natural light, kitchen, bathrooms, storage, paint and fittings. This is the largest single influence on the score, because it is what actually determines whether a home is good to live in.
Step 5 — Amenities, society and safety
Which amenities genuinely exist, how well the society is maintained, and how safe the neighbourhood feels.
Step 6 — Documents
You tick which documents exist: title, registry, mutation, sanctioned plan, occupancy certificate, encumbrance status, property tax, RERA where applicable, disputes and society NOC. Ticking these raises your Confidence, not your HomeScore — see the methodology for why that distinction is deliberate.
Step 7 — Photos (optional)
Photos raise Confidence and build the profile gallery. Images are downscaled on your device before being stored, so the assessment works on an ordinary phone.
What you get
- Your HomeScore with a grade and how it compares to other assessed homes.
- Category breakdown with each weight shown, so the number is explainable rather than a black box.
- Strengths and honest concerns.
- Fair price — the estimated range against the asking price, with the position stated plainly.
- Improve — an upgrade roadmap with estimated point impact, separating score gains from confidence gains.
- Verification — where the home sits on the Verification Shield, and an evidence ledger showing the provenance of each claim.
- A shareable profile and a HomeScore card you can send on WhatsApp.
If you are interrupted part-way, your progress is saved and you can pick up where you left off.
